So, after reading 200 posts of mostly BS, I don't think the question was ever answered.
Are You affiliated with Greenfield, or not???
Here's the deal. If You're serious about finding a reputable breeder, all the info you need is out there. You just have to spend a little time researching the breeders that You want to deal with. It's really up to YOU and no one else.
There is not a site out there that lists every reputable breeder vs puppy mills.
Common Sense is Your friend, learn to use it. Most peeps know the way puppy mills operate, and a few simple quesions can usually weed them out.
All of the guidelines are outlined on lots of sites, this one included. Use them to guide you thru the process.
When the price of Yorkies is in the $800-$5000 range, there are going to be unscrupulous people looking to make a fast buck. Just as there is in any other high dollar purchase you make.
Another problem is that people make decisions with to much emotion involved. (read the OMG,OMG,OMG thread posted here) Once they see a pic, or meet the dog, they've already made the decision that this is the cuetest puppy they've ever seen. They've made the decision with their heart strings, not their mind. |
